What are /vr/'s best recommendations of Sega Genesis games? I used to play a lot of them when I was a kid, my absolute favorites have been the Phantasy Star series (IV>III>II) and some of the good platform ones (Tiny Toons, Ristar, Toejam and Earl, obviously Sonic) but I'm wondering if I missed some others.
D A I L Y S E G A THREAD
Gunstar Heroes
Alien Soldier
Dynamite Headdy
Contra: Hard Corps
Streets of Rage 2
Streets of Rage 3
Rocket Knight Adventures
Shinobi 3
Ecco the Dolphin
Aladdin (superior to the SNES version)
This shit made my childhood and i never got the chance to beat it, just want to hear your guys thoughts about this masterpiece
I remember seeing the ads as a kid - I didn't own a PSX and wasn't allowed to play violent video games yet so the game looked mysterious and AWESOME.
I picked up a copy in 2015 and was sort of underwhelmed. I can imagine how it would have been amazing in 97/98.
GOAT game, GOAT soundtrack

MDK2 was a disappointment, but it's also not retro, so thankfully we don't have to think about it here.

MDk2 is on the dreamcast m8, so we can talk about it. Honestly, I thought MDK2 was a decent game.
Why is this game so cheap everywhere online?
Also, Pilotwings thread.
It was a launch title. That means tons of copies available.
I've always wanted a copy of this game for no other reason than to see Nester again.

I could never get into it even though I really liked the rocketman-missions. The rest was just too uninteresting for me, but I really liked the prequel.
How do I achieve the SNES's 8:7 picture on my tv/CRT ? If I bought a framemiester thing, would it add the black bars for me ?
Use a CRT on which you can significantly adjust the dimensions. Yours probably can. Learn about the service menu.

It's a JVC AV-27D303, googling how to do that now, thanks anon.

I have been in possession of this gold version game cartridge for about 15 years now. I traded some Pokemon cards for it. The reason why this is an interesting cart is because the sticker is upside down.
>pic related
I come to you guys at /vr/ to ask if this rare item is worth anything. Ebay sells normal gold version carts for about 20 dollars. I tried to research this to see if there was anyone else that had a similar game cartridge with an upside down label. I didn't find anything. The game has been tested and works and contains no...

probably better off asking on some pokemon-specific forums . or maybe nintendo age
>>2882232
not worth jack shit sorry lad. Try smashing it with a hammer to see if there are any gold nuggets inside.
>>2882232
>The game has been tested and works and contains no save data.
Hahaha
No shit, the battery ran dry about 6 years ago, man. Same as every other.
Not sure if you're serious but it is most likely somebody did that themselves. How on earth is a cartridge going to be processed upside down, then pass quality control?
At any rate, in terms of worth, probably about the same as a regular Gold cart, give or take a couple of dollars.
Here's an interesting idea....

With the remake on the way, I decided to play through the original PS1 version of Final Fantasy VII, by way of the PS3 port (previous attempts at Final Fantasy I, VII, X, and Tactics Advance were stymied by being generally shit at JRPGs, but this time I seem to be getting the hang of it, even if I'm still on Disc 1). As I was too preoccupied being a five-year-old child with alternating Mario and Sonic fixations when it came out, I haven't been able to put on the nostalgia goggles. And from what I've seen so far, it's good for what it is, but I don't...

Steampunk and the anime craze.
Mostly it was hype from game magazines combined with TV ads. RPGs were very popular at the time and Square was seen as one of the kings of gaming. FFVI had been massive and very well loved.
Square was also releasing tons of screenshots and artwork which really brought the hype to a fever pitch.
I would say that it really didn't change the series all that much though. It added CG cutscenes, but that's minor in the grand scheme of things. It's bigger influence was showing that JRPGs were popular enough that more obscure titles started coming over....

It took the already tight cinematic direction that FF had honed over the SFC games and pushed it further into a full multimedia experience.

Do you know where I can get the TNT Evilution wad?
>>2884740
yes it's in iwads.zip linked from the pastebin
Baldur's gate general
>>2827540
Could somebody please explain to me entangle? It seems like a useless spell. It's only ever fucked me over. Maybe once or twice i got lucky with it
>>2827541
Don't use it near your party members. It's used as a "soft" wall, either you go through and chance getting caught, or you go around. Your party, in the meantime, should be using ranged attacks and/or flanking around the affected area to surround those caught in the middle.
It's a tactical spell, much like grease (though the associated tactics with grease are quite different, of course.)
I've never played a Breath of Fire game, should I play the snes or the gba version?
GBA version is overall easier (you get 10x as much exp and gold), but the music sounds worse (the same thing happened with a few SNES-GBA ports). I'd say stick to the GBA versions, because you don't want to deal with the grindness of the original games.
I'll warn you beforehand: both games have a dungeon that is quite a long trek, and you may die due to bullshit insta-death spells or having only 1 character. Just persevere.BOF1 is when Gobi is alone.
BOF2 is the dungeon that connects to the Dragon Village. You can get hit by Death from enemies...

Retranslated SNES version. The original translation is legendarily bad and the GBA version didn't change a thing about it.
My first BoF was III.... I wouldn't recommend that.
Just skip the bullshit and go straight to 4, the best of the series by far.
What's so bad about living in a dream world anyways?
>>2882265
Some people can't enjoy anything if it's not the genuine stuff.
>>2882265
There's that whole issue of dying while you were too busy dreaming.
>>2882265
Because it you weren't lucky enough for Link to wake up there, the Nightmares would have taken over and turned it into nightmare world. Which is presumably a fate worse than death, otherwise Link is the bad guy.
Beat 'em up Thread
Give me some arcade beat 'em ups I haven't played already
>>2877212
The Punisher
Alien vs Predator
Armored Warriors
That beat-em-up with all the Three Kingdoms dudes where everyone had their names changed outside of Japan
D&D: Shadow Over Mystara (Tower of Doom is also good)
Night Slashers
Captain Commando
King of Dragons
Knights of the Round
Any tips on 1CC Final Fight in less than three lives?
You probably haven't played Asterix by Konami. Surprisingly the only beat'em up based on the license.
What's the most immersive /vr/ game to you now that you're an adult?
I know it's a vague question but I just want to recapture that feeling of being completely absorbed by the world in the videogame again like when I was a kid and getting lost in a Zelda game felt like it a real forest.
Link's Awakening.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doX3W_8xAfo
>>2886370
OoT, Resident Evil, Final Fantasy VII, Metal Gear Solid
Sorry OP, that immersion was false due to having the game boy close to your face, or because the cord on your Genesis controller was too short.
I've more or less put together of a library of all the PS1 games I've ever wanted, so now I'm looking into the more obscure titles / hidden gems for the platform. Can /vr/ pitch any recommendations? I'm into games from most every genre, so there aren't any restrictions.
To save some time, let me note that I already have anything that would be considered essential, like the Final Fantasy Titles, Spyro, Tomb Raider, etc. Again, just looking for OBSCURE games that people normally overlook.
Japanese imports are welcome since my console is modded....

Did you do it because PS1 is your favorite console?
I'm doing exactly the same thing with PS3.
Been playing since NES and played all the worthwhile games on pretty much every console and PS3 is my favorite of them all.
I don't even know why exactly I just like it a lot.
I would recommend the From Software games on PS1.
King's Field and Armored Core series.

Negative. I miss how edgy the game use to be.

That sounds painful.
